Audit of USAID/Afghanistan’s Regional Afghan Municipalities Program for Urban Population (RAMP UP)–East.

Country: AfghanistanFiscal Year: 2012Agency: USAIDAudit Report Available: NoDescription: The governance structure in Afghanistan is highly centralized. Subnational governance institutions, particularly at the municipal level, lack clarity on their roles and functions and are often nonresponsive to community needs. Development Alternatives, Inc., implements the Regional Afghan Municipalities Program for Urban Population—East through a $52 million contract.
This audit will determine whether the program is achieving its goal to create effective, responsive, democratic, transparent, accountable municipal governance in the eastern provinces by increasing the capacity of the Afghanistan municipal officials to enable, support, and sustain economic growth.
